AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
259 PM EDT THU MAY 28 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST THIS TONIGHT AND THEN PASS
OFFSHORE ON FRIDAY. LINGERING TROPICAL MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY
INTO TONIGHT. DRIER WEATHER SHOULD FINALLY MAKE A RETURN BEHIND
THE FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
WEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SHORT WAVE WILL PUNCH HEAVIER SHRA EAST THIS EVENING WITH SOME DRYING
IN BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LEE TROF CONVECTION AND THE COLD FRONT
NEARING THE WESTERN SLOPES BY MORNING. LINGERING INSTABILITY
SUPPORTS KEEPING TSRA MENTION MAINLY EAST EARLY ON THEN HIGHER
CHANCE SHRA SE AND NW AFTER MIDNIGHT AS A MORE PRONOUNCED WESTERLY
FLOW TAKES SHAPE. UNIDIRECTIONAL CHARACTER COULD LEAD TO SOME
MULTICELLULAR BANDS AND BOW ECHOS ACROSS THE WEST EARLY THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER MORE WESTERLY FLOW WILL LIKELY CAUSE A JUMP TO THE PIEDMONT
LEE TROF LATER ON AS PWATS FINALLY DROP WEST. THIS CONVECTION WILL
ALSO BE ENTERING THE AREA AROUND THE TIME OF HEATING LOSE. WITH THE
GROUND BEING SATURATED AND STORMS HAVING THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS...WILL CONTINUE WITH FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
LOCALIZE FLOODING THROUGH MIDNIGHT.

MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT DESPITE SOME COOLER DEW
POINTS IN WAKE OF PASSING CONVECTION. SOME CLEARING ALSO EXPECTED AS
CONVECTION MOVES EAST TO MENTION PATCHY FOG. THIS FOG MAY BE DENSE
IN MOUNTAIN VALLEYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY...AND WILL BE
PRECEDED BY A LEE TROUGH ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.  WHAT THIS WILL EQUATE
TO WILL BE MORNING SHOWERS IN THE WEST WITH THE APPROACH OF THE
FRONT...AND A THEN TAG TEAM OF THE LEE TROUGH...THE FRONT...AND PEAK
DAYTIME HEATING IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST PART OF THE AREA IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON. WILL HAVE POPS THAT REFLECT A SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE IN THE
WEST FRIDAY MORNING...A THEN MID TO HIGH CHANCE POPS IN THE FAR
SOUTHEAST IN THE AFTERNOON WITH A DISTINCT GAP IN THE PRECIP CLOSER
TO THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AT THAT TIME...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME ISOLATED UPSLOPE SHOWERS IN THE FAR WEST.

FRIDAY EVENING...SOME LINGERING SHOWERS WILL EXIST IN THE FAR
SOUTHEAST EARLY...BUT BESIDES THAT...WILL HAVE PRECIPITATION FREE
CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE.

THROUGH THE WEEKEND...GUIDANCE VARIES ON THE DEGREE OF WHICH
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION WILL IMPACT OUR AREA. AS WE STAY IN
NORTHWEST FLOW ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE TROUGH AXIS...WEAK
DISTURBANCES AND RELATIVELY COLDER AIR ALOFT...POSES THE POTENTIAL
FOR STEEP LAPSE RATE ASSOCIATED SHOWERS DURING THE PEAK HEATING OF
THE AFTERNOON. FOR THE FORECAST...HAVE LIMITED WEEKEND SHOWERS AND
STORMS TO MAINLY THE SE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...AND THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA ON SUNDAY.
AFTER COOLING OFF SLIGHTLY ON SATURDAY AS COMPARED TO FRIDAY...WE
WILL EXPERIENCE A BIT OF A WARM UP ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
DURING THIS PERIOD WE WILL TRANSITION FROM THIS WEEKENDS EXITING
TROUGH TO BUILDING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE REGION AND AN INCREASING
SOUTHWESTERLY MOIST FLOW. WE SHOULD SEE A TREND OF MODERATING
TEMPERATURES...AND INCREASING CHANCES OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MONDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE THE LEAST LIKELY
WITH CHANCES CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
THIS COVERAGE WILL INCREASE NORTH AND EAST DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.
BOTH DAYS HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 IN THE MOUNTAINS LOOK
PROMISING WITH MID TO UPPER 80S EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA AND STALL OVERHEAD THROUGH THURSDAY. WILL HAVE DAYTIME AND
NIGHTTIME SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS OVER THE REGION DUE TO THIS
FEATURE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. HIGHS AROUND 70 TO LOWER 70S IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE ARE
EXPECTED. PRECIPITATION COVERAGE MAY END UP BEING GREATER THAN THE
CHANCE POPS THAT WILL BE IN THE FORECAST. THIS PATTERN WOULD BE
FAVORABLE FOR THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES IN THE MID WEST...OR AT LEAST
THEIR DECAYING REMNANTS... TO RIDE ALONG THE FRONT AND INTO OUR
AREA...POTENTIALLY REQUIRING MUCH HIGHER POPS IN AT LEAST WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TSTMS ARE DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
THE BEST COVERAGE BETWEEN 18Z AND 23Z. SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN AGAIN...SO
FLIGHT CONDITIONS HAVE A GOOD CHC TO DROP BRIEFLY TO MVFR/IFR IN
PASSING STORMS. SHRA/TSRA SHOULD LINGER IN THE EAST EARLY TONIGHT
BEFORE MOST PRECIP GIVES WAY TO FOG AND PERIODS OF LOW CLOUDS
OVERNIGHT. FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE SE WVA SITES BY MORNING BUT WEST
WINDS LIKELY NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP KLWB FROM LOWERING TO MVFR/IFR IN
FOG AS WELL AS KBLF WHERE WESTERLY FLOW MAY ENHANCE LOW CLOUDS.

MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST PERIODICALLY ACROSS THE AREA
FRIDAY MORNING WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND SCATTERED SHOWERS...UNTIL
A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION LATER FRIDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
A RETURN TO OVERALL VFR OUTSIDE OF ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHRA/TSRA
THAT MAY DEVELOP ON SUNDAY OR MONDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
1 HR FFG REMAINS VERY LOW WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WITH VALUES OF 0.75
AND 1.25 IN/HR BUT A BIT HIGHER IN THE EAST. WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
CONVECTION LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING POTENTIAL AGAIN EXISTS FOR
POSSIBLE ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING PENDING JUST WHERE THE HEAVIER
TSRA DEVELOP. MODEL CONSENSUS SEEMS TO POINT TO BETTER COVERAGE IN
THE EASTERN AREAS ALTHO IT WOULDNT TAKE MUCH TO PRODUCE FLOODING
ACROSS THE WEST WHERE HEAVY RAIN HAS PERSISTED THE LAST FEW DAYS.
THUS HAVE CONTINUED FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE FOR ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING INTO THIS
EVENING.
